The house was set up beautifully and a great retreat to relax. However we found the cleanliness needed some attention. Through the book of rules it stipulated to clean up after each stay, however we found many of these not adhered to. The fireplace was full of ash and part burnt logs. The bbq was absolutely filthy, covered in mould and old food. The grounds had left over cigarette butts and empty alcohol cans laying around. The master bathroom also could use a better clean, especially around the toilet. (Photos taken of all incidents) We loved the location and the house as a great place for a large group, but found a few details could use attention in future.
The house had all you needed. Lots of space, great views tucked away in nature. We naively hadnât expected the unsealed road or that the jetty was well and truly inaccessible. We couldnât work out where to take the kayaks to get out on the lake or the ability to walk them 500m.
The house, grounds and view were wonderful. Everything we needed was there, and the host was very helpful. If i texted he got back to me promptly. He was also helpful in making suggestions of interesting places to go and sights to see. Highly recommend, i would stay there again!
Great place to stay with friends and family. Heaps of things to see and do. Even tho it poured with rain the whole time we had heaps of fun in the jet boat, biscuit ing
We enjoyed our stay, only one thing to mention The stairsway to lake access was damaged so we didnât had a chance to feel the lake but overall we loved it. Thank you
Lovely location to relax & enjoy the views of New Zealand's raw natural environment. The accom has a homely feel & provided most of all we needed to achieve our 7 day experience.
The view of the lake is incredible and there was lots of space inside and out. The kitchen provided everything we needed and there were many games available to play. Unfortunately we didn't have access from the property to the lake as I was excited to use the kayaks provided. There is a boat ramp about a 10 minute walk away. The house was not as clean as I prefer with dirty floors in the bathrooms and kitchen. There was also broken glass on the deck landings. It was a great place for a couple nights as we were passing through.
We loved this location and the amenities provided. So quiet, clean and private. Would definitely stay again. Would be perfect for a large group over a long weekend.
Enjoyed the stay in the beautiful home, had the fantastic weather to enjoy the outdoor, very close to town. Only issue we had was finding the place but with some help from local's we got there. A bit more specific direction will help for future bookings
The property is in a beautiful location on the edge of the lake. It is well proportioned and fitted our group of 6 easily. Unfortunately, it could do with a good clean. We had to contact the managers when we arrived due to an issue with the alarm. The communication was excellent and the problem sorted quickly, which we were very grateful for.
We were looking for a holiday home where we could entertain friends and family and were introduced to the area by friends. We immediately fell in love with the lake and the secluded location. The views from the property are stunning and the access to the water and surrounding means there is never a shortage of things to do.
Perhaps the best feature is access to so many activities in the immediate area. Exploring, water skiing, biscuiting, boating, hot pools, fishing, kayaking or just bathing.
The area around the house is surrounded by a pine forest which is great for walking, jogging, and mountain biking. The tracks wind their way through quiet pine forest and have great views of the lake.
